A lot of the infrastructure of the internet is owned by US companies. It’s why, when Cloudflare went down, large parts of the net were unusable. We need to have our own nationalised infrastructure & all the US platforms taxed and regulated.
In the meantime, why not buy a nice print for your wall?

We’re in the age of rentier capitalism where the biggest tech companies in the world make nothing, offer you nothing. And they want to own creativity next. Don’t give them your money.
Give ME your money. I’ve got poetry comics, comics about resisting techno-feudalism, and a comic about tennis!

I think I’ve finally found a way to satisfyingly fake the Riso printed results of I Know The Way Out! Useful to show the pages as they’re designed to be seen and I can now make an ebook available that looks as close to the printed book as possible.

I was asked by @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social to adapt a short story by Aileen MacAlister into a comic to celebrate the release of the Book Week Scotland collection.
It’s about friendship. And losing a parent. It was a privilege to adapt it.

It’s been 10 years since tabling solo. I’m excited to return to the most important festival in the UK comics calendar, but also surprisingly anxious.
Come find me at COMIXOLOGY HALL C36 and give me an encouraging pat on the back.
